Chapter 180, The Soul of the Army

In the end, only two of the three troops sent by Li Shunsheng returned, and the two troops who came back also suffered heavy casualties. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, fortunately, they successfully completed the task assigned to them by Li Shunsheng, and the two almost disabled troops were rescued from the front line by them, which was barely good news for Li Shunsheng.

However, after these two troops on the front line came down, it also meant that there were no formed resistance forces on the periphery of Nanjing, and the occupation of Nanjing by the Japanese had become an irreversible fact.

Therefore, Li Shunsheng's next thing to do was to evacuate Nanjing City safely and return to defend their positions.

Of course, before that, they also need to cover the evacuation of the last groups of Nanjing residents.

Because of the time that the navy bought with their lives, a large number of Nanjing residents successfully left this place that was about to become hell.

In order to buy time for the people who were crossing the river, it was inevitable to fight the Japanese head-on, and it was foreseeable that the next battle would be extremely cruel and difficult.

For this battle, Li Shunsheng and they made full preparations.

Whether it was fortifications or weapons and equipment, they spent a lot of manpower and material resources to prepare, just waiting for the Japanese to come.

To tell the truth, Li Shunsheng loves you and doesn't want the Japanese to come, because they have always represented that this battle must be fought, and the battle represents a lot of sacrifice, which is what Li Shunsheng does not want to see.

However, the battle in front of him was obviously inevitable, so he did not have any intention of timidity, but began to mobilize before the war.

Pre-war mobilization is a common occurrence in Chinese history, but most of them are just inducements, and there is little research on them.

In the current Chinese army, although many troops also have pre-war mobilization, the effect is really limited.

Because at this time, many Chinese commanders actually did not care about the life and death of their soldiers, so naturally they should not expect them to put much effort into their own soldiers.

However, as a person who has come over, Li Shunsheng naturally knows how important the pre-war mobilization is, and this seemingly unimportant move can often easily boost the morale of the soldiers, and can maximize the combat effectiveness of his soldiers and relieve the tension before the war.

Because many of the soldiers in their troops had retired from Shanghai, many of them were afraid of the Japanese troops, and although there was nothing unusual in peacetime, once there was a problem in wartime, it would be a disaster that could lead to the annihilation of the entire army.

"Are you scared, brothers?" This is Li Shunsheng visiting and encouraging his soldiers in the frontline trenches, which is also the pre-war mobilization.

Of course, not only him, but all the commanders of the entire army are doing the same thing, and they are all trying to make final preparations for this battle.

"Don't be afraid!" A young warrior gripped his gun hard, apparently not as fearless as he claimed.

"Haha, boy, just say it if you're afraid, we won't laugh at you!" A veteran with a face full of vicissitudes teased the young soldier on the shoulder.

"What a thing!" The young warrior who was exposed to the little lie made a big red face.

Many of the onlookers burst into laughter, and the tension before the battle eased a lot.

"It's not a shame to be afraid, to be honest, I'm also afraid, and it's a shame because I'm afraid and I don't dare to face my enemies."

"Master Li!" Two brigade commanders saluted Li Shunsheng, who were the commanders of the two units that Li Shunsheng had saved from the front.

"Brigadier Wan! Deputy Division Commander Fang! Li Shunsheng returned the salute.

"I don't know what arrangements Senior Commander Li has for us." They're here to fight.

"There is no arrangement, you follow the people to retreat first!" Li Shunsheng said his consciousness.

"Is Senior Commander Li looking down on us? Your troops can go to the front, is our troops so squeamish? "Deputy Division Commander Fang, they are obviously very dissatisfied with Li Shunsheng's arrangement.

"No, no......" Li Shunsheng shook his head, "You have been fighting on the front line for so long before, now you should retreat to the rear and rest." ”

The scene suddenly came to a stalemate, and both sides insisted on their own ideas.

"So be it." After hesitating for a few minutes, Li Shunsheng came up with an idea, "I didn't save you to send you to death, so that all my previous efforts would be in vain." If you really want to fight the Japanese, it is not impossible, provided that you have left enough seeds, and the soldiers can die, but the military spirit must remain. ”

"Good!" They agreed to Li Shunsheng's proposal without hesitation, a unit can lack a lot of things, but the soul of a single army is the most indispensable.

The Japanese arrived as scheduled, and they were ready to defeat the Chinese army in one fell swoop.
